John. "Ihe fact is, thgt we are the only party
that is increasing in numbers or has any fight
in it. The two old parties are at a standstill
because they have no particular principle to

''No, sir, emphatically, no. Under no cir

Tobacco Culture i'm Florida.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, November 25.--To-
bacco, before the war, was one of the principal
products of west Florida. Since the war it
has been abandoned for long staple cotton. 1t
leaf, when properly grown and cured equals
in quality that Of Cuba and Sumatra. Much
of this years crop sold at from twenty to fifty
cents pound, averaging thirty. A New York
syndicate has bought ten thousand acres of
land in Gadsden and Columbia counties, and
will plant over enc thousand acres in tobacco
during the coming year. Much interest is felt
in the subject throughout the state.

A Shocking Accident,

MILWAUKEE, November 2S.-A shocking ac-
cident occurred at the Kirby house this morn
ng-a boiler used for heating water exploding,
entirely Wrecking the rear end of the building,
burylng number of people beneath the ruins,
fatally Wounding several and, it is feared, kill
ing others outright. The explosion occurred at
$3.50. The boiler which exploded was hot
water boiler behind the kitchen range, The
explosion blew out portion of the rear wall
OF the building, thirty feet in width and ex-
tending from the ground to the floor of the
fourth story. One end Of the dining room was
wrecked, all tables being knocked over and
dishes smashed. Most of the guests had fin
1shed breakfast. Among those who remained,
panic reigned but as far as known none of
the guests were hurt. The kitchen of the hotel
was completely wrecked. There were about
dozen girls in the room at the time and all
were buried beneath the mass of brick and
mortar
The fire department was on the scene with
IN minute after the explosion. The follow
ing girls were taken out from the ruins badly
injured: Anna Kennedy, assistant cook Car
RE Olsen, dining room GIRL Julia Fieldmeyer,
dining room girl; Nora Dougherty. dining
room girl; Mary Arbuckle, pastry cook. Ali
were SO badly injured, mostly by bruises, that
Dr. Marks said he could not tell whether they
would live or not. Frank Hempel, head cook,
Is missing. Also, Mrs e. M. Gage, assistant
cook. The ruins are being searched in the hope
OF finding them, and others who may be buried
therein.
- LliIlio tnoIhpSoH, u girl emprOyed IN the
Sentinel bindery, across the alley, was badly
cut about the head by flying glass that was
blown in by the explosion. Mr.. Beckwith,
one of the proprietors of the hotel, who was in
the rear part Of the building, near where tho
explosion took place. was hurt in the head by
q flying missile, which knocked him down.
He is able to be about
An alley back of the hotel is piled to the
depth of four or five feet with debris from the
wrecked building. The north wall of the din
ing room was blown in for distance of Is OF
20 feet. The firemen got water upon the
ruins in time to extinguish the flames which
started before they had gained much headway.
The accident was probably caused by The
freezing OF the feed pipe supplying the boiler
with water.

A Suggestion from the Commissioner of
Agriculture,

WASHINGTON, December 1.-The annual re-
port OF the commissioner OF agriculture was
laid before the president today. The commits
sioner recommends, substantially the abolition
of the seed division Of the department and the
transfer of its duties to state and territorial
experiment stations. The directors of the in
situations, he says, ought to know what kind
OF seed the farmers of their respective neigh
borhoods are interested in, and what kinds are
best adapted to each locality. He says:
If the work of distributing seed could be done
by the stations and the department be relieved of
this duty it would enable it to work in the other
directions of great importance to the agricultural
interest of the country. 1t is hardly necessary to
state that it takes much Of the time of the commits
sloner and that ii is difficult to make distribution
to gve satisfaction to all parties and in all parts of
tie country. While the germ of department of the
agriculture was seed distribution it has grown until
it now reaches into many fields Of science and many
more lie beyond, which as yet it has had neither
time or means TO enter.
The commissioner discusses tho scope and
functions of the department in way which
leaves room for the plain inference that he
disapproves the efforts to make it an executive
department, with member of the cabinet at
its head. The departments position, he
thinks, should be that of an adviser in those
investigations and enterprises which bear upon
the agricultural interests OF the country.
III beginning the department may have been an
experiment, but its condition now should leave no
doubt as to the precise relation which the depart
ment should hold to the government. The devel-
opment has been natural. and there may be q valu
able lessen i'll history fits evolution The relation
to which refer needs to be recognized not through
the mere changing of name; not through any radi-
cal legislation which may meet the favor of ore
class and the disfavor OF another; nor yet through
any changing alliances which would only serve to
distract attention from the one great leading thought
which should always possess those who admin ter
the affairs of the department. but rather through "a
well endowed department. fully authorized to en-
poy scientific experts and specialists in its several
lines of investigation at jul and reasonable com
pensations, fully equipped with the latest and most
approved apparatus with conveniently arranged
work shops and safe and healthy surroundings.

An Experiment with Peterkin Cotton.

Judge r.. NJ. jackson. Of this place, is per
fectly carried away with the Peterkin cotton.
This year he planted a lot near his house in
this cotton as an experiment and last week
carried ! $50 pounds, the usual amount for a
4OO-pound bale, only expected about that
much, but when the cotton was ginned and
the bale weighed, it tipped the beam at $50
Both the seed cotton and the bale were
weighed by the same balances, hence there is
no mistake about it. This is the best turnout
for cotton we ever heard Of, and the Judge
has saved the seed pure and clean, and will
plant large crop Of it noXt year. Not only is
ity also.

Two Fishermen Near Erie, Pa, Sunk in
Sight of the Shore.

ERIE, Pa, November 30--James McLaugh-
lin and Robert Pryor, fishermen, were drowned
about half mile off the shore OF Presque Isle
yesterday. The manner of their death is
remarkable. They started out early yesterday
morning and pulled their nets, making such
large haul that the boat was laden nearly to
the wator's edge. AT this time they were two
miles from shore and the surface of the water
was covered with slush' ice several inches
thick. The men weighed anchor and started
back, but the wind rising caused the boat to
pitch heavily and every lurch caused her to
ship large quantities of semi-liquid ice. Seeing
that it was impossible to reach Erie harbor the
men turned for the Shore but when half
mile out an unusually heavy foe drove large
block of ice into the boat and she slid under,
disappearing from view. The menStruggled in
the water and ice for time but were soon
overcome by the cold, in sight of the crowd on
shore, which could render no assistance.

ails them. They are miserable, extreme

of a very large class of females. They

to put one foot before another, and yet seeing
the work must be done, they go on, a tread
mill life from early morn till late at night,
keeping about from the mere force of will.
Arising in the morning but little refreshed by
the few hours of broken sleep; no one but
themselves knowing that incessant aches and
pains had robbed them of that much needed
